This dazzling NASA image shows the biggest super star cluster in our galaxy


Astronomers used the James Webb Telescope's NIRCam to take an image of the Milky Way's biggest remaining super star cluster.

One of the latest images it has taken is of a "super star cluster" called Westerlund 1, and it shows an abundant collection of heavenly bodies, shining brightly like gemstones. To take the image, they used Webb's Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam), which was also recently used to capture a gravitationally lensed supernova that could help shed light on how fast our universe is expanding.
